So, exams are over, results are out and I've managed to scrape (yes, scrape) a First for my 1st Year at Uni. Can't say I'm not surprised, I was expecting to pass but by the experience of some exams, I honestly thought I'd have trouble passing some modules. In those particular modules I didn't manage to get over 60% for them, mind. After only finding out about the grade criteria to change course to the Year Abroad scheme, looks like I can at least apply to study in California in my Third Year!
As with most students in a similar situation to me, money is uncomfortably tight, and I'm going to have to bite the bullet and work at the same place I was last summer; packaging nail polish and moving boxes around, with the more brain-intensive work being counting how many boxes are on a pallet ready to be distributed to a department store. I'm quite a cynical person, and I tend to see the 'more depressing side' in almost everything. In that place, I am pretty much surrounded by cosmetic products, which scream out "look at me, I obviously have such a good sense of fashion to afford these £10 eyelash extensions" - yeah, I'd love to see someone wear them for more than 10 minutes before poking their own eyes out. It takes a while, but eventually I'll regress into my own thoughts, which is better company than the other workers if the rest of them are from Lithuania, and have conversations in their own language.
I guess my cynicism explains why I dislike popular clubs, and to an extent, my views on Religion. Also could explain my lack of a 'sex life' or whatever that term implies. I guess being at university can make you very cynical anyway, after seeing the states that people (including myself) get into after a night of getting drunk for a reason nobody can remember the next day.
I was going to mention the Olympics in this post, but I think I'll save that rant for when the Olympics actually get underway, and inevitably restrict me from using public transport to get to work.
On a lighter note, we have a new kitten! :)
Until next time.
